About the game
You search strange maps for the objects and clues that open a route out. Creatures interrupt the search, traps punish careless movement, and your sanity can change what you see. Each episode introduces different places and mechanics. The early access version has three maps, with more of the planned game still unfinished.
Up to four players explore together online. You can discuss a puzzle nearby, then lose track of a friend as their voice fades with distance. The horror shares space with ridiculous characters, dances and unexpected ways of dealing with monsters. Your group spends as much time reacting to strange discoveries as following the escape route. It suits friends who enjoy figuring things out while laughing at the game’s odd turns.

- Tension and danger: A team wipe restarts the episode, with an episode-three save exception.
- Story: The review finds scattered narrative details and unclear connections rather than a story-led campaign.
- Working in sync: The review describes cooperative escape puzzles and distance-based communication through unfamiliar maps.
- Exploring: Finding routes and scattered collectibles is a regular part of each episode.
- Puzzles and figuring out: Exploring each map and solving its mechanisms is the described escape loop.
